  1. Only to put your bike at the back on a bike rack and have your carbon rims cooked by the exhaust pipes, done that twice.....:l
  2. And then nogal the usual excuse, contaminated food..... Queen's horse fails drugs test 2014-07-22 London - A horse owned by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II which won one of England's most prestigious races has failed a drugs test, Buckingham Palace announced Tuesday. Estimate, which lifted the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in 2013 and came second in this year's edition, has tested positive for morphine, a banned substance. A statement by the Queen's racing advisor said initial indications were the positive test had resulted from the "consumption of a contaminated feed product".
  3. the freedom ride is 35ks. so me and my buddy will leave from my house at hurlingham manor (close to William nicol pick and pay) at around 7h30, cycle into town (about 17ks) do the freedom ride loop and ride back. that should get us to 70ks or there, if we go back with a loop we can make it longer. at any point in danger of getting stuck at a place featuring beer so we will just see how things roll....
  4. You must be the best thing that happened to him in a long time breaking the boredom of his job, stop taking the bate and take it up with his company
  5. mmm well it coincides with the freedom ride, one can just add some distance at the end or something
  6. Andrew thats a good story to start the day with, well done. Whats the latest on cycle science debacle?
  7. Spruit from Fratelis towards Emarentia is relatively save, on weekend mornings when its busy I will venture out on my own, with HE on this, nothing beats a lone ride.
  8. sjoe
  9. Did the 45 km route today since it was already marked out, closer to 40 ks snd flat, one spot of singletrack a mud/ice fest, for the rest all easy. The route criss cross itself a few time so unless there are good marshalling some folks will confuse or cheat themselfes into shortcuts.
  10. sealskinz keep you warm but don't expect to grab stuff out of your pocket
  11. so how did they resolve it?
  12. my experience was the same, guess that's in a black and white scenario, when it goes all shades of grey I wonder
  13. what sort of salary does a qualified bike mechanic get?
  14. have you taken this up with them?
  15. It seems more like a loan than an investment, and frankly if you are so stretched that you need to borrow all to buy the stock what realistic after sales will you be able to provide? Why cant the suppliers provide vendor finance or stuff on consignment? Or dont you have some personal assets to give as collateral to a bank?
  16. even secondhand you must insure for new for old replacement value. I supplied insurers with my proof f payment (so they know its secondhand and I piad much less than new) along with bike shop valuation for new replacement. my understanding is if you insure for less they will treat you as underinsured
  17. okay have you guys checked the weather? gonna be very cold, not your usual arm warmer situation
  18. How is this diffirent from the Freedom Challenge, othr than paying an insane amount to ride (sponsor some pro team price money
  19. Hell not sure what you can do to your seatpost? Get a test spez romin saddle to try out that ended my husbands dead whatsesname issues
  20. I am talking under correction but i think the WC frame is such that it can only have 1x set up in front, if so no converting if you 1x setup dont work for you, the marathon you can always convert from 2x to 1x
  21. Are your bars flat as in flat or a bit of a kink? If the latter try tilting your handlebars to get a lee bit more hight, that was all i needed after the same issue
  22. The bottlenecks, times over again and again
  23. yep even if you are not at fault you will face a whole lot of unnecessary admin at best, and possibly some time in court if they decide to make a case, not worth the trouble so worth your while to think on behalf of the idiots around us, they are a special creation with the sole purpose to waste your time.
  24. I had two the speedo one and some other gadget, more a pain in the butt than anything else. I believe you get waterproof ipods too havent tried those
